Summary of BBI Predictions for Super Bowl 50...

M.S. : 2/6/2016 7:47 am
...a couple of weeks ago, I asked BBIers for their early Supper Bowl Predictions. Ended up with 33 predicted scores which can be summarized as follows:

Exactly two-thirds of BBIers predicted Carolina to win (22 out of 33); one-third Denver (11 out of 33).

Across all 33 BBI respondents, the average Carolina score was 26.7 (median 24); the average Denver score was 18.2 (median 17);

So, the average margin of victory for Carolina was 8.5 points; the median was 7 points;

And just to confuse everyone, if we rank all the predicted game scores from the highest point differential to the lowest (i.e., Carolina's predicted score, minus Denver's predicted score) then the median game score would be 27-17 Carolina over Denver... 10 point differential;

Across all 33 BBI respondents, the average total predicted points scored in game was 44.8 (the median 45.)

Here are the 33 predictions (sure wish one of the teams could have been the Giants):

but head gives a slight advantage to Carolina.
Although Carolina is the prohibitive favorite

Seems like you have some outliers that skew the mean. Good job calculating median which is probably more predictive.
Denver
